A far as most diets go, snacking is usually a big ‘no-no’. In fact, some people would go as far as saying snacking is a sure-fire way to gain weight. Not with Atkins.

Help conquer cravings

In fact, it can be a positive thing. Grazing on something healthy between meals can help curb hunger, banish cravings and improve concentration.

Do you know the feeling when you’ve not eaten for hours and then when you do, you just can’t seem to fill yourself up? Eating a low carb snack in between your main meals means you’ll feel less hungry and be less likely to over-eat at mealtimes.

Plus a couple of healthy snacks also gives you an opportunity to fill any nutritional gaps so your body always has all the nutrients it needs.

Stable, steady energy

Snacks with reduced carbs can help you avoid a mid-afternoon energy slump. It also makes sense that if you give your body stable, steady energy throughout the day, your concentration will follow suit. We’ve got lots of delicious snacking suggestions with reduced carbs for you, from an Atkins bar to yummy chipolatas wrapped in bacon.
